Genome assembly reveals 25,805 protein-coding genes in Quercus cerris, highlighting genetic diversity in this species.
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly of <ns5:italic>Quercus cerris</ns5:italic> (Turkey oak; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fagales; Fagaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 777.39 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.89%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 380.47 and 15.0 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 161.2 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 25 805 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. </ns5:p>
